ANybody in NC registered as an antique? The language of the law says "use in exhibitions, club activities, parades"
and "It is used only occasionally for other purposes"
Would a few trips per year count as "occasional use"? I assume they are just trying to prevent a guy from using a 76 Corona as a daily driver and never having it inspected.
The big plus for me is it removes the hassle of having to make the parking brake work.

Dave,
I registered my 1970 Monte Carlo as an antique car in NC and my local tax went from 8.00 to $88.00 since it was now a collectable car. I complained and after two years and insisting it was was used only for rallys and shows, they reduced the tax to $5.00. If you do it, insist on them showing the correct use.

It's 35 years here in NC. When I registered the 76 last year in Oct,
they told me I just made the cut-off year. I don't know about the
antique plates but know there is no inspection required. BTW, here in NC
it's not classified as a recreational vehicle, they call it a "house
car". The DMV dominatrix and I had a chuckle over that.

Antique plates are tricky, the DMV advised me against getting them. Says you are more likely to get pulled over and there can be insurance ramifications if in an accident and you can not prove it was for one of the reasons listed as justifying antique plates.

Thanks for filling in the blanks. I have no desire to have antique plates if i can avoid inspection without them.
This is great news. I was thinking I would have to replace the front glass and fix the parking brake beofre i could do a road test on the engine work.
It would have really sukced to get all that done and then learn that the idiot who did the engine work screwed it up again.

Very similar rules for Virginia. Mainly written to keep the vehicles from being used as daily drivers. The "occasional use" is apparently defined as a distance of 250 miles radius from your home address. You also avoid the personal property tax on that vehicle. You must prove that you own another vehicle, before they will register it as "antique." I don't think that anyone would use the GMC as a daily driver.
Since the coach goes only to rallies and exhibitions, I think that you are covered. Rallies with coach work involved are clearly okay, even if they are a long distance. Virginia antique plate charge is $50 for a lifetime, personalized for an additional $10. Guess who owns "GMC MH"? If you are caught violating the rules, you lose the plates, and cannot re-apply for 5 years. Also, no personal property tax. Most of the GMC Tidewater Crabs group has gone to antique plates.
Progressive charges insurance on my coach, as if I drive it every day, so I doubt that they would have a leg to complain about coverage.

Dave,
I think too many people go to antique plates to duck the state inspections. If the safety equipment isn't functional (parking brakes) or the engine can't meet that year's emission standard
then it ain't right and isn't safe. Florida doesn't have a state required annual inspection and you see too many sloppy unsafe wheels on the road 'cause they get lazy and let things slide and pile up. ANNIE never got rejection on her Virginia state inspections when we were up there.
My 2 cents.

I completely agree. I find it strange that the state will stop looking at vehicles over a certain age. Especially one that weighs four tons.
But avoiding it solves a practical problem for me now.

Just a suggestion on the historical plates. I emailed the state Highway Patrol in Ohio about this. In the email I stated that the GMC motorhome is used for occasional driving and rally events and camping. "NOT for general transportation"
I received a reply that stated the GMC qualified for the historic plates. This I printed out and carry in the coach so I can show it if needed.
If you have historic plated you MIGHT be able to get a reduction on your insurance cost.
